The person might also have trouble digesting fats and lipids.

What happens if you have too much bile?
When your body produces too much bile it increases the acidity in your digestive tract. It can cause diarrhea, loose stool, change in color of your stool, and your bile can enter your stomach from your intestine causing your stomach to become overly acidic. This can mimic symptoms of acid reflux. Acid reflux medication may temporarily ease symptoms, but ultimately will not work.

What happens if your gallbladder is removed?
In humans, the gall bladder is not a required organ - it's simply a storage organ for bile for the times that we are not eating and digesting foods.

Otherwise, you shouldn't see much of a difference after you heal up from teh surgery.
